Fantastic experience: Consistently satisfied with the care provided by Dr. Miller and staff. Have referred others and will continue to confidently do so.
Fantastic experience: I have terrible genes and have had many procedures by many dentist ( more than 10) in my short 38 years of life. Dr. Miller is the best. Professional, competent and just a good human being. If I moved out of state, even to the east coast, I would find a way to see Dr Miller. Trust is everything and he had it at first visit, and kept it, nearly 20 visits later. Highly recommend. He does everything from cavities to crowns to implants.
Thanks so much for your review and glad you have found a place you are comfortable with your dental care!

Fantastic experience: Came in regarding jaw pain. Dr. Miller was caring, knowledgeable and helpful. He listened, and gave good advice. Made it easy to understand and of course welcomed me back should the pain not get better with the recommended treatment.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Good caring Dentist and staff.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Dr. Miller and his staff was outstanding! I was greeted in a professional and friendly way. I waited less than 5 minutes. Dr. Miller came in very quickly and was so nice and very knowledgeable. His exam was thorough and he explained in detail every aspect of the exam and his findings. But there are two things that really stood out. He uses the latest technology and he does not try to push for treatments that are not absolutely necessary. Many dentists upsell. He did not. Highly recommend Dr. Miller. I’m in my 60s and he’s the best dentist I’ve ever experienced!
Fantastic experience: Great experience as always. Dr. Miller and his staff are very professional, informative and and make sure to answer any questions I may have. I love my new crown. Fits perfectly into the space.
Fantastic experience: Annual exam with focus on very old root canal and options for treatment.
We appreciate the feedback, thanks Scott!
Fantastic experience: Years ago I had trauma to one of my front teeth. I ended up needing a root canal because of exposed root surface, then a filling because the tooth was half missing. Years later, the filling became discolored so Dr. Miller replaced my old filling with a new one to better match my other front tooth. He did an amazing job. My friends and family can’t even tell which tooth he worked on! I can tell Dr. Miller and his staff work really well together. I am very happy with the results! I highly recommend Dr. Miller and his office!
Thanks so much for your kind words!!!
Fantastic experience: It was just a cleaning. I didn't bleed much or experience any excruciating pain, and my teeth feel much cleaner. Five stars!

Fantastic experience: After relocating to Santa Barbara in 2019, I couldn't have been more thrilled to find Dr. Miller and his amazing team. I've unfortunately experienced less skilled dentists and dental hygienists in the past, so even after I left SB in 2022, I've continued to go back to Dentistry in Paradise for the excellent care and wonderful people there. I can't recommend enough!
Thanks so much for the kind words Kat! And also, we're glad we get to keep seeing you :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Kevin Miller certainly deserves the highest rating when it comes to “gentle dentistry.” He explains all treatments and procedures in laymen’s language to make it easy to understand.

Fantastic experience: Dr Miller is more than the friendly smiling professional dentist. He is a magician! Having gently prepared the area to be numbed, extracted an annoying tooth effortlessly. I received specific post procedure instructions, and, Done! No swelling, no pain, no bleeding: perfection! Also appreciated the follow up call to find out how I was feeling. The staff is pleasant, efficient, knowledgeable, and on time. Relax, in your chair, enjoy the garden view, watch a movie; you are in great hands. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful review!
Fantastic experience: Excellent. I broke a front tooth on Sunday, called Dr. Miller's office on Monday morning and had a nice temporary tooth that afternoon. Great service, great staff!

Fantastic experience: I’m extremely happy with this practice. Dr Miller and his entire team are fantastic. I have visited for your regular cleaning and recently had my wisdom teeth extracted. They made what could be an unpleasant experience as pleasant as possible. I highly recommend this practice. Great vibes!
Glad it was more pleasant than you had imagined Ashley! Thanks for your feedback!
Fantastic experience: I went to see Dr. Miller for a tooth that hurt when I bit down so this was purely a diagnostic appointment, everybody was very friendly at the office as was Dr. Miller and he did a very thorough diagnostic as to what the problem was and then he laid out his recommendation to fix the problem but also presented other options as well so I really felt like I got the full range of options which gave me a good feeling about Dr. Miller And when I went to pay for the appointment the charge turned out to be less than I was quoted, Nice. Anyway that was my experience with Dr. Miller I would say he's very personable and easy to talk with and is highly knowledgeable and professional.
Thanks for feedback Jeff. And glad to know you had a positive experience!

Fantastic experience: I had a bicycle accident. Lost front teeth, broke/chipped others. After ER visit, I called Dr Miller on a day his office was closed. He called me back immediately from Costco. We met at his office an hour later. He did an exam and XRays immediately. I had temporary teeth a few days later and permanent replacements shortly after. His work, professionalism and care were extraordinary.
Glad everything worked out well for you Reed! Happy to help.

Fantastic experience: A crown popped off one of my teeth over the weekend. When Dr. Miller's office reopened on the following Monday, I asked to be seen as soon as could possibly be arranged. The office accommodated my request and said I could come in Monday morning at 9:30. Dr. Miller and Cindy were personable and professional as usual. They got me fixed up by 10 a.m. (In addition, Dr. Miller, at my request, provided me with information on scenic hiking trails in our local area.) It was an A+ dental experience and I look forward to hiking the trails. Thank you, Dentistry in Paradise. --Eric Brotman, Goleta, CA
Thanks for the feedback Eric. Happy trails!
Fantastic experience: I drove down from San Francisco because I needed fully competent dentist who could make an onlay for a tricky tooth. Dr. Miller more than delivered.

Thanks for the kind words Gregory, hope the trip to santa barbara was well worth it.
Fantastic experience: A crown that was done many years ago fell out and my dentist who was closing her practice recommended Dr. Kevin Miller. Fortunately, I was able to get an appointment that day.

I will be continuing with Dr. Kevin Miller.

We're so glad you're happy with your experience Christy! Thanks for your feedback.
Negative experience: I was searching for a dentist in the area and came across this doctor who had many positive reviews. Following the voice message, I went online to request an appointment and received a response indicating that they had received my request and would contact me. However, it has been two weeks now and I haven't heard anything back from the practice. Perhaps they have a lot of business and do not need new patients at the moment?
Hi May. I'm so sorry to hear about the the difficulty getting a hold of us. That sounds very frustrating, and not how we want a "first impression" to be made. We have had some issues with our digital phone service, but I will make sure someone gets a hold of you ASAP.
Fantastic experience: Replacement fill-in dentist, temporary but wholly acceptable, and more than just satisfactory. She would be a great addition to Dentistry in Paradise if she wanted. New temporary fill-in, and very competent, hygienist today too. I’m very grateful for today’s service.
Thanks so much Bill! Your feedback is much appreciated

Fantastic experience: As an old lady, I remember fearing trips to the dentist. Now, it's just another blip in the day. I had a crown replacement, done all in two hours, left with a new crown and absolutely no pain. Dentistry has really changed since I was a young girl.
